Dept. 7 Firearms Training Academy

The Dept. 7 Firearms Training Academy is a sourcebook for d20 Modern that provides players and GMs with options for developing the shooting skills of their characters. While melee combat is a common occurrence in the modern world, it is a character's skill with firearms that will truly mean the difference between life and death.

The world is full guns and most of your serious opponents are going to be armed with some form of personal firearm, if not military-grade weapons. However, you should never forget that having a gun and knowing how to use it are two different things. A character who can't hold his own in a gunfight isn't going to last long in this dangerous world we live in. Whether you're facing down a heavily-armed SWAT team, a gang of crazed drug dealers or a highly-trained terrorist cell, you'll feel better if you know that you have the edge.

Included in this PDF are twenty-one new gun-related feats and a new five-level "Gun-FU Trainee" advanced class!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
